"Hello, Tower Dominator, I am Ethereal Crystal, the researcher assigned to communicate with you."

In the sky of the Battle Zone Command Center, the Great Wizard, whose body resembled a mass of liquid crystal, respectfully addressed the enormous bronze tower before him.

A direct order from the Crown Throne circumvented numerous procedures within the Wizard Alliance, reaching the directors of several research institutes at the fastest pace.

These directors were no fools; upon learning that a Dominator wanted to exchange technology, they immediately began selecting a researcher.

After three days of selection, the Great Wizard Ethereal Crystal was successfully chosen to become the Great Wizard to trade with the Tower Dominator.

The Tower Dominator glanced at Ethereal Crystal, an invisible spiritual power sweeping over the Great Wizard like a breeze, seeing through him entirely.

"Interesting, the evolution of you wizards is indeed peculiar. Your form has nearly reached our life form."

The body of the Great Wizard Ethereal Crystal suddenly solidified, the flowing liquid crystal quickly transforming into solid crystal.

"Flamboyance is our greatest trait."

The Tower Dominator slowly shrank its body, eventually reducing to less than three meters in size.

"Let me have a look, Miracle Wizards are quite confident in your technology, and I hope you won't disappoint me."

A smile appeared on the face of the Great Wizard Ethereal Crystal, and a crystal sprouted from his hand.

"Although the Crown Throne did not tell us what you need, our data contains some research materials concerning your type of life form. Before coming here, I was authorized to review this portion of the data and, following the main control's suggestions, selected a few technologies suitable for you."

He said, handing the crystal to the Tower Dominator.

"I hope I didn't overdo it."

A door opened on the Tower Dominator, and a mechanical tentacle extended to receive and read the crystal offered by the Great Wizard Ethereal Crystal.

The information within the crystal was not complex, consisting only of simple introductions to three technologies and some technical details.

This amount of information required only a millisecond for the Tower Dominator to fully memorize and analyze. Yet after receiving the information, the Tower Dominator fell silent.

After a long while, the Tower Dominator released the crystal.

"...Your technology has somewhat exceeded my expectations."

The three technologies brought by the Great Wizard Ethereal Crystal were nanotechnology, soul programming, and the small dimension destruction cannon.

Among them, nanotechnology can transform mechanical life into pseudo-Gestalt creatures with nanomechanical bugs as the core. Of course, mechanical life can also choose to fully convert themselves into nanomechanical bugs.

Achieving a tremendous transformation of life form.

Soul programming is a form of special soul modification for mechanical beings, utilizing the unique soul form of mechanical life to greatly enhance their computing power without altering their soul structure.

The last one, the small dimension destruction cannon, requires no introduction. This powerful attack method, if concentrated, could annihilate even the Breaking Limit Sovereign in an instant.

As a trade, the wizards' technologies seemed full of sincerity. However, a trade is a two-way affair; if the Tower Dominator desires these technologies, equivalent technologies must be offered in exchange.

This posed a challenge for the Tower Dominator.

In his view, even his most valuable technologies seemed somewhat crude compared to these three technologies.

The Great Wizard Ethereal Crystal smiled, "Haha, this is our first trade, so naturally we have to show some sincerity."

A faint rumbling emanated from within the Tower Dominator, followed by a metal block covered in strange patterns, held by a mechanical tentacle, being delivered from within the tower.

"Take a look at this."

The Great Wizard Ethereal Crystal accepted it and received the information contained within. But soon, the Great Wizard Ethereal Crystal shook his head slightly.

"Tower Dominator, your technologies are quite good. But unfortunately, we have already mastered these."

The Tower Dominator's heart sank, the worst-case scenario had occurred.

The wizards had already mastered these technologies.

"I can offer you a suggestion." The Great Wizard Ethereal Crystal spoke up immediately upon seeing the Tower Dominator fall silent, "You might want to consider some technologies of a lower technical difficulty.

Given that there are no mechanical races among the member races within our Wizard Alliance, except for the small dimension destruction cannon, the technical ratings of these three technologies are all over-rated.

If you can offer some technologies with high practical value, the upper management should agree to the trade."

The words of the Great Wizard Ethereal Crystal were sincere, and indeed had to be sincere.

The Dominator would have no difficulty peering into his mind without a trace, and if he dared show contempt, the Tower Dominator wouldn't hesitate to crush this life of his, teaching him a harsh lesson.

"Practical technology..."

As the Great Wizard Ethereal Crystal anticipated, his thoughts were being monitored by the Tower Dominator all along.

Upon confirming that his suggestion wasn't a deceitful tactic, the Tower Dominator began contemplating practical technologies.

As a Dominator from a civilized origin, he knew a good deal of practical technologies. Trading these for new technologies was clearly a favorable exchange.

However, if wizards have mastery over so many advanced technologies, could there really be a scarcity of basic ones?

"Looks like I'll have to discuss this with those fellows," the Tower Dominator thought to himself.

If we are to trade for low-level technology, it would invariably require several or even a dozen technologies to exchange for one. Given the current strength exhibited by the Wizard Alliance, the Tower Dominator feels that he, alone, probably couldn't gather that many technologies.

Therefore, he decided to conduct some small transactions with other Dominators within his civilization.

These Dominators, rescued by Richard, each have a civilization backing them. When faced with these needed technologies, the civilizations behind them would definitely be able to provide a sufficient price for him.

Soon, the Tower Dominator traded a heap of technologies from other Dominators within the civilization.

Handing these technologies to the Ethereal Crystal Great Wizard, a pleased smile quickly spread across the Ethereal Crystal Great Wizard's face.

"Tower Lord, indeed, there are some technologies here we have yet to master. However, the exchange of such practical technologies requires evaluation by the researchers.

So, you may need to wait a while."

"That's not a problem." The Tower Dominator calmly replied, "I wasted hundreds of thousands of Tower years within that maze, now I don't mind this bit of time."

Bowing and retreating, the Ethereal Crystal Great Wizard soon arrived at the Wizard Dimension.

Inside the dimension, senior researchers from the Tesla Research Institute, Evolution Road Research Institute, Deep Blue Well Research Institute (part of the Shape-shifting School), and recently, the Abyss Research Institute created by the Miracle School in collaboration with the other Six Major Schools, were all present in the Wizard Dimension.

Upon seeing the return of the Ethereal Crystal Great Wizard, these senior researchers, usually known for their rationality, gathered around excitedly.

"Ether, what did that Dominator say?"

"Is it practical technology or advanced technology? Let me have a look at that technology."

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze."

"Damn it, who knocked off my wig!"

...

Seeing his enthusiastic colleagues, the Ethereal Crystal Great Wizard couldn't help but step back two steps.

"Ahem, everyone calm down. He's trading practical technology, and some of them are quite good. I think this is a good deal."

Hearing practical technology, the senior researchers again bubbled with excitement.

"Practical technology is great, our Magic Armor Research and Development Department needs practical technology."

"What kind of practical technology?"

"Don't squeeze!"

"Who took my wig!"

...

Seeing the researchers still in such chaos, the Ethereal Crystal Great Wizard couldn't help but raise his voice slightly.

"Quiet! You're not kids anymore, it's just new technology, is it necessary to be so undignified? If you keep this up, I'll send your antics to the Crown Thrones."

Upon hearing this, the researchers instantly quieted down.

Though they knew, the Crown Thrones would probably not mind their affairs. However, the Crown Thrones are their superiors, so leaving a bad impression on them would certainly not be beneficial for their development.

Seeing everyone quiet down, the Ethereal Crystal Great Wizard began introducing the technologies the Tower Dominator wished to trade.

The Tower Dominator prepared many technologies, each varying in technical content, but without exception, they were all practical technologies suitable for wide application.

And because the Tower Clan is of mechanical life, many of their technologies are of great value to the Alchemy School.

After some discussion, the researchers identified twenty-two practical technologies worth trading.

"I think the exchange is possible. Twenty-two practical technologies for two niche advanced technologies, I find it worth it." A researcher with a wig bearing footprints was the first to speak.

"Twenty-two for two?" A burly researcher resembling a Wild Beastman exclaimed, "Do you want to send Ether to the coffin hall with that price?"

"Indeed. Exchanging twenty-two for just two niche technologies is a bit unscrupulous," another researcher said, "However, exchanging for a Small Dimension Destruction Cannon, plus a choice between two other technologies, seems quite suitable to me."

Across from him, a Great Wizard resembling a mechanical octopus retorted sarcastically: "Unscrupulous? My friend, when did you install a conscience component in your body."

An elderly-looking researcher said, "I also find two niche technologies a bit unfair. We should have a long-term collaboration with this Dominator.

This transaction could serve as a door-opener, facilitating our technical exchange.

Moreover, based on frontline information, there is more than one unfamiliar Dominator appearing this time. We are sure to negotiate with other Dominators.

We don't need to be stingy in this trade."

But his viewpoint didn't gain unanimous approval. A wizard argued, "Stingy? We represent the Wizard Civilization, the Wizard Alliance! Our technologies are not magic stones mined from veins, they are the crystallization of the wisdom of predecessors, and the generous contribution of the Crown Thrones.

You're being generous with others' possessions! It's parasitic behavior!"

The discussion among researchers grew increasingly intense, and eventually, they were almost ready to reveal their True Bodies, to fight for a resolution.

Watching this ludicrous scene, the Ethereal Crystal Great Wizard sighed softly. He contacted the directors of the three major research institutes via the dimension and conveyed the situation on site and his thoughts.

After obtaining approval from the three institute directors, he directly opened the Dimension Gate back in front of the Tower Dominator.

Facing the Tower Dominator, the Ethereal Crystal Great Wizard composed himself and slowly spoke: "According to the decision of the evaluation panel, we find twenty-two of these technologies worthy of an exchange. If you agree, you may choose any two from the three technologies I offer."
